Let the Celebration's Begin!!!

In true Jill Style, I have tried to plan as many birthday celebrations as possible this year. I have done a pretty good job in years past and have tried to live up to the same expectations this year. I think I just might have my best year of celebrations yet.

The celebrations started last Saturday when Shannon's Bollywood party had a birthday party incorporated into it. It started off with singing of "For She's a jolly good Fella"... Followed by some gifts...
The presence of this cute boy...
And topped off with my all time favorite dessert: Oreo Pie. Made with love by Shannon...
Today the celebrations continued with a birthday lunch with some of my favorite co-workers. It is common for us to meet at Chili's at 11:30 on any given day, it is one of my favorite traditions, today just happened to have a special purpose, MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Most of the celebrations are yet to come, and I can't wait! I am down to two days away and there is so much more planned:

Wednesday: Birthday date with Steve
Friday (The Big Day): NO WORK and getting to sleep in. Lunch with my sisters, mom and Maga, followed by pedicures. An evening planned by my good friends in my ward (still a surprise to me, I love surprises!).
Saturday: Breakfast with another fellow birthday girl Kimmy, at my favorite breakfast spot Market Street
Sunday: Birthday dinner with my whole family, filled with all of my favorite foods (and people).
Wednesday: Dinner with my mom at the Melting Pot, one of my favorite restaurants.

I know, a little excessive right? I don't know what it is but I just love my birthday. I love to celebrate it and enjoy every minute of it. Everyone is always so nice to accommodate me and humor me with their support.
